A few years ago I decided to drive my own well, using a few common building supplies, a little elbow grease, and a lot of common sense. If you can drive a nail into a board, you have the skills to augment your water supply. Click above to see how!
Does pulp fiction leave you flat? Put down that pathetic, estrogen-laced Harlequin Romance and pick up a classic. The price is right, it's absolutely free. Which would you rather do: download one of my ebooks without paying a cent or waste several hours' pay and half of the weekend at an overpriced shopping mall? Electronic text definitely has it over hidebound dust catchers. The print is easier to read and they are far better illustrated. Forget what you have heard about ebooks. The reason they get bad press is that the people who own the big publishing houses know that their days are numbered. No doubt the ancient Egyptians thought papyrus was here to stay and the Babylonians couldn't imagine writing without clay tablets. So much for our attachment to paper. As far as I am concerned, it makes more sense to wipe with it than to read from it.

Tales of Horror
by Edgar Allan PoeThere is an ugly dark side to America which you aren't likely to see on television or at the movies: hungry, out-of-work families being turned away at homeless shelters; flim-flam man Ken Lay bribing Congress to turn its back while Enron fleeces employees and investors alike; the incredibly ridiculous screw-ups that led to 9-11; George W. Bush preaching crass crony capitalism; and Seagrams going all out to get kids to drink. These are topics that won't be discussed on the evening news. Learn what they don't want you to know.
Bushwhacked
I'm about halfway through the first draft of my next novel and decided to put it online to permit my readers to catch any errors that may have got past me and offer suggestions as to what they would like to see happen next. As far as I know, this is the first time any author has done this. If you are looking for a genuine laugh that hasn't been overly choreographed, this is a good read. Don't let the title fool you, Vigilantes comes about as close to being a Western as George Bush comes to being a Democrat. Although fiction, much of it is based on actual events. Your comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated and could very well have an influence on the finished manuscript.LOOSE NUKES THREATEN COAST
